I feel under-qualified to put into words the grandeur of the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Jacket; we should have hired a poet. What wind doth yonder jacket break? How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. This warm soft shell is perfect for trips into the mountain or for standing out in a crowd (the internal media pocket with port for your mp3 player will allow you to drown out the crowd, as you stand out). Offering the ideal balance between elemental protection and cold weather performance while minimizing bulk, the attractive Dawn Patrol jacket is sure to inspire you to get out and enjoy the great outdoors.
